I really enjoy the writing of this fic. To be honest, the Ginny-falls-into-Draco's-arms premise has never been one I adored, but the sheer loveliness of your style and your way with words has redeemed this cliche for me. The description of the kiss as "languorous" was all-too perfect, and simple observations like "His skin was hot" made the moment they shared incredibly well-drawn. Great job!

Well, to be honest with you also, the whole Ginny-falls-into-Draco's-arms premise is not one of my favorite either, but it's the only thing that wanted to be written *eyes muse* I honestly tried to start a dozen other stories, but this is what came out.

I'm glad you enjoyed it anyways! Woo! Thank you for all the shiny compliments! *blushes*

This was sweet w/o being too sappy. I like Draco's pride, and the logical "preserve the family" attitude -- it makes him more dimensional. Leading up to the kiss was a tad too good to be true, but definitely convenient -- haha what I wouldn't give for a hot guy with entangling-prone robes. ;)

Yeah, the lead up to the kiss was a bit too good to be true...but a girl can dream about being all tangled up with Draco, huh? *smiles*

Thank you for reviewing!!

Well I disagree with jess (tudorrose) because I have always LOVED the 'Ginny bumps into Draco' cliche. But even if I didn't I am just amazed at this story. First of all, it is SO poetic. I read it outloud to myself just to hear the beauty in how you write. Then writing almost 80% of a fic describing a kissing scene... if you don't get nominated for Best Kiss I'll eat my mousepad, because this was brilliant!

And then the end. Best end ever! I love how he's still thinking of what is best for him... Calculating. Perfect. Love Draco to itty bitty peices!

Great Great Job! ;)

'Ginny bumps into Draco' is most definitely the cliche of our OTP! It wasn't my intention to write it, but my muse wouldn't have it any other way :) I knew it was one big fat cliche when I finished and turned it in, but I was just hoping that the language and imagery was pretty enough to distract from the old and used plotline...And I'm so glad that you think I've been able to accomplish that...even a little bit *is flattered*

Best Kiss!?! I don't know about that :) But I'm glad you think so! Actually, the muse wouldn't leave me alone about this story, wouldn't let me write anything else. And I even had to fight most of it into submission...but once I got to the kissing scene...well, it kinda took off...I think I was enjoying that particular part way too much *smiles deviously*

Thank you for all your lovely compliments *oggles the shiny*

Well done! I'm a sucker for the couples bumping into each other in the dark. There's always something sweet and romantic about it. Nevertheless, it was written nicely! Loved the song you had in mind when writing the fic. :) Thanks!

Re: Bravo! phoenixrae December 17 2006, 05:54:43 UTC

I personally wouldn't have mind running into Draco in a dark hallway :) Glad you enjoyed it!! If you want the song, just let me know! When this is all over and we're allowed to reveal who's who, then I'll send it to you! Take care!!

Regardless of the favorite cliche (isn't this pairing just full of them? ^_^ ), it was still very good. I liked it!

sue_bridehead December 17 2006, 05:56:16 UTC

Thank you for reading and reviewing! I know the whole set up is a bit cliche, I just couldn't help it. It's one of my favorites and it's all that my muse would let me write :) Again, thanks!!!
